Here we report the results of a prospective pilot study on breast cancer detection using blood plasma analyzed by Fourier-transform infrared FTIR spectroscopy a rapid cost-effec tive technique with minimal sample volume requirements and potential to aid biomedical diagnostics. FTIR has the capacity to probe health phenotypes via the investigation of the full repertoire of molecular species within a sample at once within a single measurement in a high-throughput manner. In this study we take advantage of cross-molecu lar fingerprinting to probe for breast cancer detection. Methods We compare two groups 26 patients diagnosed with breast cancer to a same-sized group of age-matched healthy asymptomatic female participants. Training with support-vector machines SVM we derive classification models that we test in a repeated 10-fold cross-validation over 10 times. In addition we investigate spectral informa tion responsible for BC identification using statistical significance testing. Results Our models to detect breast cancer achieve an average overall performance of 0.79 in terms of area under the curve AUC of the receiver operating characteristic ROC . In addition we uncover a .
